So sick of hearing all of this.

If it fails, it fails, just go for it!

I hate pessimistic people.

...but it wasn't pessimism, the post was addressing motivation.

One gains money as a side-effect of being successful at something in demand. You don't become successful by becoming a millionaire.

If becoming a millionaire is the goal of your software startup, you're facing some pretty big problems right off.

An overabundance of false optimism can be just as strange.
